The difference between Vented and Vent Free (Ventless) Gas Log Sets

Gas logs come in two basic varieties, vented log sets and vent-free log sets. A vented gas log must be used in a regular fireplace, designed to burn a wood fire. Vent-free gas logs can be used in a regular fireplace or can be used in a prefabricated vent-free firebox that has no chimney. You will want to be sure the logs you are purchasing meet the requirements of the log set you wish to purchase. Vented gas log sets have high realistic flames that create the feel and look of a real wood fire. Remotes and control valves assist in the ability to have a variable flame height, easy on/off operation, and ease of operation. Gas logs are known for their nearly maintenance free design without the mess of ashes like you would get with a wood fire.

What Gas Control Valves do I need?

Let's get into the nitty gritty of the control valves to better assist you to pick the right one for your needs shall we! One of the most important factors in picking out your log set is how exactly you're going to light it. Let's break down each option to help you make the best informed decision.

• Electronic Valve System - This is considered a non-standing pilot system. Most of these units are battery operated, but some of them may require power hook up to operate. With this particular valve your pilot will not remain lit, but you can operate your pilot and flame height by using an added remote control, wall switch, or using the switch directly on the gas valve itself.
• Manual Safety Pilot Kit - These units are also called Safety Pilot Kits, and are considered a standing pilot system. This is a manual system that does require you to direct the on/off directly on the unit itself by turning the knob to the on or off position. To ignite you will simply push the knob on the gas valve which will in turn ignite the pilot. In the event the pilot on your unit goes out this system will automatically turn off your gas supply. So rest assured you won't be worrying about a gas leak!
• Modified Safety Pilot - The modified unit is the same as the manual safety pilot listed above with the exception you can connect a remote or variable control to this specific valve system to easily control your pilot without having to directly turn the knob. Allowing for easy on/off operation.
• Match-Lit - this option is only available for vented natural gas log sets. No pilot or valve assembly comes with this system. If you're looking for a simple way to light your burner without the hassle of remotes, valves, etc. This may be the option for you if you fuel by natural gas. Light a match or you use a log lighter at the burner and turn on your gas valve with the valve key provided.
• Millivolt Valve - Millivolt systems will continuously stay lit, and are generated by a thermopile as opposed to the thermocouple system like the Safety Pilot system. You can connect a remote, timer, wall switch, or a thermostat to this particular valve system. No external power is needed, your system will run off the pilot exclusively.
• Outdoor Electronic Control System (EIS) - For use in outdoor applications, and is a non-standing pilot system. This 200,000 BTU Ignition system is a 110V direct wired control valve system. Compatible with a wall switch or remote control to easily operate your pilot. You should mount this particular system within 3 ft of your firebox
